Phil Spencer: relationship with Nintendo is “incredibly strong”

I think if not a full blown partnership, MS and Nintendo should consider a "non-aggression pact" as it were where they help each other a bit.

MS gives the Switch a Halo game or two, Rare games for Virtual Console, in return XBox/Windows PC maybe receives some older Metroid Prime titles in 4K.

Nintendo gets the better deal because they have the more valuable franchises (Halo for Metroid is a win for Nintendo), MS gets some nice PR. They're both getting kinda fucked by Sony IMO with Sony pushing devs into exclusivity deals, so they should strike back a bit.

Even considering GC old games I would say MS would gain more with having those games on X1X (with upped res and textures) than Nintendo would from having downscaled Halo and Gears.

I can imagine great things happening.
One could help other plataform, and lots of players could choose the 2 plataforms, in a simbiose system.
-Nintendo let VC(NES to GC) games on xbox, let xbox owners subscribe nintendo online service on xbox to earn the monthly games and play them online with xbox and switch users, and switch advertisement in xbox store, or even demos of switch games.
-Xbox publish rare games on switch(and maybe original xbox games) to run natively on switch, and stream xbox one to nintendo switch for live gold members.
lots of xbox one owners would lite to have a switch(where the complete experience of nintendo games are), and switch owners would like to have a xbox one(to play multiplat games on switch screen, good online infrastructure and achievments).

Won't happen, Nintendo would helping MS a lot more than it would benefit them.

He has yet to back anything up. His most recent lie was about the power of the XBOX and it was hilarious. Since there is absolutely zero evidence to back up his claim of "Nintendo and I are the best pals" it's best to assume it's the usual PR dribble.

You know, if you lie once etc...

Exactly what did he lie about the power of the X1X.  The specs are right there for all to see, nothing hidden.  Do people just dream up lies and then state them as facts?  Also why do he need to have evidence of his relationship with Nintendo to justify your opinion.  If anything, if he was telling some type of lie I am sure some Nintendo exec would be right oncue to denounce his claim.  Really what do any of us know the business to business relationship any of these companies have.

I guess because you have not liked some of his statements, he is a lier.  There is one thing to not like a person opinion and another to label them as a lier.

That PS4Pro is more of a competitor to X1S (with 200% more power) than to X1X (with 40% less power) due to GPU. Yes not BS, not at all.

Wrong. Phil Spencer has said some pretty bullshit things. You know it and everyone knows it so when he says something like this, is like the boy who cried wolf in best case scenario. It's hard not to associate his comments with idiocy since most of his comments are idiocy. Maybe you be insecure since the Xbox One was a big joke since day one. Go hug your Xbox One.

Perfect example of an angy post. And its pointless, - all business execs tell things for PR sake and you would be naive  to think otherwise. And in saying that why does it bother you so much that Phil Spencer makes a positive statement about the relationship between his line of business and the competition. Mate he is a business man and is enetitled to make statements about extending business relationships etc etc. So why take it personally? And in regards to me hugging my xbox I think I should give it to someone more in need of one at the moment 😊 there there don't worry yourself too much about Phil and his bad bad so called lies. Terrible Terrible man. How dare he do his job.

Yes, it's quite funny how the devil sony users go on all MS posts to talk bad on it and the saint MS users wouldn't ever do that.
